#136 Rae Kala Stier, Occupational Therapist

(First airdate: June 4, 2019) Our Town Host Maryanne McNellis interviews Rae Kala Stier, who’s now an Occupational Therapist for Jefferson Healthcare. Her passion for dance once led her to West Africa. She incorporated some of those African movements into an innovative hospital program called “Dance With Parkinsons.” It’s a rare exercise therapy session accompanied by live music. Rae’s story includes years of living in Baja, Mexico on a school bus or sailboat with husband and two small children. But, interestingly, as the kids got bigger the boat got smaller. The kids began to crave a “regular” life with things like school and soccer practice. That’s when the small “hippie tribe” moved to Port Townsend.

Sage Foundation Match is DONE!

The campaign to Build a New Home for KPTZ achieved a major milestone this past week. We have met the Sage Foundation Match challenge to receive a $500,000 grant, resulting in $750,000 to build our new home at Fort Worden!

This awesome challenge inspired generous donations from over 250 station supporters like you, including an extraordinary gift to jump-start the campaign from a valued KPTZ personality.

Achieving this staggering $250,000 goal came together in less than 6 months, a true success story that will energize KPTZ’s entire capital campaign. Our determined, much-needed plan is to move into state-of-the-art studios at Fort Worden and to develop a dedicated Emergency Broadcast studio in order to serve our widespread community. Certainly it’s ambitious, as was accepting the grant challenge from Sage Foundation.

We are on track to coordinate with Fort Worden’s Makers Square construction plans. And now with the Sage Match momentum, all systems are GO!

KPTZ continues to welcome donations to help us raise the additional $150,000 needed to fully fund the KPTZ 2.0 budget. Simply click on the MAKE A DONATION button below, come by the station, or mail your contribution to KPTZ, PO Box 2091, Port Townsend WA 98368.
